Our societies department is making some pretty impressive strides of late, with some great results in various competitions for a few of our societies.

Firstly, our Dance Team in our Dance Society had a very successful at the Bucks Dance Competition. They finished 1st in Jazz, 1st in Contemporary, 2nd in Hip Hop, 2nd in Hop Hop Duet in the Wildcard Section and 4th in Tap. Those fantastic results meant that they beat Bucks University and won the point for Varsity! A huge achievement so massive congratulations to all involved.

Secondly, the Oscars may have been and gone but so too has the Inter University Drama Competition and their awards night. It was a successful event for another of our societies there, with our Nepalese Drama Society finishing 2nd out of six universities. They also won two individual awards – for Best Script and Best Actress. Well done! Who knows, maybe those are the first of many awards to come in this exciting time for our burgeoning cluster of societies.

A third congratulations must go to all of our sports teams and people, as they helped us on to another Varsity victory. We drew 10.5 to 10.5 with Bucks but, as we won last year, that means we retain the trophy. Better luck next year, Bucks.
